+x=usr(1536) Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 "Internet of Tacos" is not a thing until I can get a taco drone-delivered on demand from my mobile device! Amazon TacoCopter is currently undergoing trials in Providence, RI, Gary, IN, and John Day, OR. If trials are successful, expect a nationwide rollout between 2018 and 2020. Oh, and you'll apparently be able to summon it from a Dash button or add it as an Alexa skill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 "Alexa... order me up some tacos." "Tacos have been ordered, and will be there in 20 minutes." Elsewhere... "Siri... order me up some tacos." "I could not find 'Epson Talk Show' in your music. Playing 'Up Town Girl' by Billy Joel instead." 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+x=usr(1536) Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 (edited) "Ataribox... order me up some tacos." Insert the sound of crickets, perhaps with a tumbleweed blowing through for visual reinforcement. The person placing the order eventually starves to death.

The Historian Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 "Ataribox... order me up some tacos." You know that's not entirely impossible. Amazon has made Alexa available on Linux. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leech Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 I tried to tell Bixby to send me Tacos. It instead decided to try to share something.. probably with someone named Tacos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Nathan Strum Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 This is incorrect. All of the ingredients would fall out of the shell. You need something with nothing inside of it for this animation to work: 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, but Linux (and thus Alexa) still needs hardware to run on. Edited December 5, 2017 by x=usr(1536) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+frankodragon Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 If you have the box with nothing in it, you could put robot innards and have it battle a robotic vacuum cleaner for the top prize: a taco. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andromeda Stardust Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Of course I was. I guess I was tired and had a brainfart. Still 300km, so it's about 180-190 miles. Sorry about that. Don't worry about it. You took a ratio and divided instead of multiplied, or visa versa. Happens to the best of us! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 "Internet of Tacos" is not a thing until I can get a taco drone-delivered on demand from my mobile device! I had tacos tonight. And when I push them out in 24 hours, that recycled burrito will probably still taste better than anything Ataribox puts out...

You ought to head for a large building with elevators and lots of people and just fart while fake texting or talking on a phone. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
